changing station info on new site
« on: September 07, 2013, 05:03:37 PM »
I have been using the classic site because i do not like the new format but wu has been slowing phasing out what you can do on the old site. Well when i wanted to make a change to my station info all i had to do was go to weather stations and click on manage my station info but it now says it is not supported and i can not for the life of me find the same thing on the new site. Every time i click on something it is wrong are is not what i thought it would be, i hate the new site. Can anyone tell me how to get to manage my station info?  :sad:

If you go here and re enter all of your data it will make the change to the new format   at least it did for me

Whenever I try to change info for my stations in the classic, I get this:

Not Available on Classic

I suspect that they have started over with a completely new data base server and it will be necessary to reenter all data at some time.   Might as well do it now.

It is important to enter the new data EXACTLY as the old or you may get a new WU ID.  And be sure to be logged in under your old ID.

Be careful with the new links. I tried making adjustments and it eliminated my time zone and elevation. I now have no time zone and elevation of zero feet instead of 1500 feet. So now all my data is shifted 5 hours ahead as it assumes I am now GMT instead of CDT. My new day now starts at 7 pm in the tabular data. And there is no way to edit your time zone anymore. Perhaps WU is going to have all observations based on GMT and your new day begins at 00z, not your local time.  I have notified WU a few days ago, and still no response.
